Hey, not my fault the Titanic is better than a 370z.

We'll get DiCaprio in one and the balance will swing back to Nissan.

Definitely a head turner. They went to the bottom of the sea to check it out! Even made a movie that had boobies in it!

Wait! What age group did the magazine article say should be driving the Titanic?!? And you would you measure performance? 0-sinking? Time to quarter mile (ocean depth)? Seat bolstering (which probably makes a difference when the vehicle makes a gradual but extreme shift from horizontal to vertical)?

Anybody read the recent issue of MotorTrend? it has a review of the Boss in there, and they're claiming a 0-60 of 4.1 and a price estimation of 40-45k, but damn, 4.1 seconds, that sick!

Low 4's is the new standard for sporty cars. The 'vette does it, the mustang does it, most of the 911 family does it, the thew Z28 should do it, the CTS-V does it, the Hynudai Genesis should do it with the 5.0 it's getting.

It's 0-100 that matters more, though, I think. Even an Evo will do mid 4's to 60, but 0-100? Not so hot.

0-100 matters more? because everyone does 0-100mph pulls through town huh? to me, 0-60 times matter most because thats the kinda zip you'll actually use with DD use.

Who races in town?

0-100 tells you more about the power/weight. 0-60 tells you about the driveline/tires/gears.

ProfessorDave

Most of my driving involves 0-35. I think magazines should report that. And how stable the cup holders are.

who said anything about racing? the speed limits in my area range from 35-55. Which is why 0-60 matters to me, get up and go is what I appreciate, not top end 150mph pulls.

440 HP, 380 lb's torque, and 3630 Lbs......sounds about right. M3 killer for $15,000 to $20,000 cheaper.

I care more about things like 20-80 times, they indicate more accurately how fast the car feels.

Especially when you've got cars like the EVO and STI, where their 0-60 times in the mag have very little bearing on how the car feels around town, unless you're dropping the clutch at 6k...
